Interesting quote from Peter Garrett

From this article:

"We're not only talking the talk, we're walking the walk," [Australian Environment Minister Peter Garrett] said as the hour ended. "Whatever your view is about the magnitude of the problem ... we can save money by using energy wisely and efficiently, and that gives us the added bonus of reduced greenhouse gas emissions."

1. He appears to be admitting that there is not a consensus on the magnitude of the "problem".

2. He talks about saving money first, mentioning that "allegedly saving us all from a fiery death" angle only as an "added bonus".
